Organise a logo competition

Select the best by election

Students can participate indivudually or in groups or pairs.

Students will be given a choice as for what techniques, digital applications or shape they will choose for their logo, so as not to hinder creativity.

Maximum size should be A3 ( final logo can be downsized to be stamped on all documents related to the project and on t-shirts)

Each school will enroll the number of students they may deem convenient and will proceed with the competition internally.

Each school will choose 1 winning logo to present on behalf of their country.

Each school will have an access to MyTwinSpace, so all partners can send their winning logo.

All the teachers involved in the project at each school ( not just the representatives) will be able to vote and choose the final winning logo from the ones presented. Voting for one's own country would not be allowed. A digital app will be used to conduct the vote.

The final logo will be used as the official brand in all documents and acts of communication concerning the project.

The winning students will be honored with an award and a t-shirt with the printed logo, although it will be at the discretion of each school to award the students with other prizes, if they deem it convenient.

Avatar Design competition

- The avatar must be a male Syrian refugee called Ody, in honour of the main character in Homer's Odyssey.

-They must use PIXTON Comic Maker to design the character.
